Returning to the Land: Gallery tour and poetry reading

Participants in the March 2026 Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop will read their original poems alongside the landscape paintings from Shen Wei: Still/Moving that inspired their writing.

This gallery tour and poetry reading differs from a traditional seated reading; it will invite gentle movement, collective attention, and deep listening. Poems will be heard where they were written—in the presence of the paintings—creating a layered exchange between stillness and sound, brush and breath, art and language. 

This reading offers audiences a unique way to experience poetry and visual art. It will require periods of standing in the gallery; limited seating will be available.

This event will be followed by a reception in the DR Center Gallery, now showing Shen Wei: Still/Moving.
